No achievement comes by accident; each has their own historical movers. In the background Metro and HSR development of China, there are hundreds and thousands of dedicated men and women, from ground worker to engineers and system managers, who make it all possible. When celebrating the success, we should not miss out on recognizing the real movers of historical development. They are all true patriots!

It is very eye-catching, I should say. Impossible to miss

Perhaps that was the reason to select such "catchy" color.

CRRC unit bags $10 million London Underground order

China Railway Rolling Stock Corp said on Friday that its overseas subsidiary has won a $10 million order from London Underground.

Delkor Rail, an overseas subsidiary of its unit CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co, has signed a long-term supply contract with Transport for London for the supply of underground-train parts.

Industry experts said the deal is testimony to China's growing presence in the global high-speed railway market.

"Chinese high-speed rail companies' presence in the global market will expand in the next three to five years," said Cao Gangcai, vice-chief economist at CRRC Corp.

The rail firm's technical strength, research and development capability and equipment have been used in more than 100 countries and regions. The rapid global economic development will spur demand for more rail products, he said.

That said, it will still take some time before foreign countries fully accept Chinese technologies and China's high-speed rail products, said Cao.

Delkor Rail, a leading supplier of quality noise- and vibration-attenuation products and solutions, is fully owned by CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive.

Its technical expertise and quality components have been utilized in construction projects in countries and regions including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The company has also been actively exploring the European and American markets in recent years, said CRRC.

The order from Transport for London will help expand the company's presence in the United Kingdom and open doors to other European markets, it said.

Generically referred to as "the Tube", the London Underground, which opened in 1863, is the world's oldest underground railway system and carries more than 1 billion passengers a year.

The London transport department has come out with several renovation plans for its subway lines. Most of the railway tracks and facilities are aging and need upgraded.

CRRC was formed by the merger of CSR Corp and CNR Corp, China's former top two train manufacturers, with an eye on boosting international competitiveness and attracting more global orders.
